1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: The media has brought bought into this industry, canard this

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: mythology that we're Jesus anymore autism because we're noticing it more,

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: we're better recognizing it, or there's been changing diagnostic criteria.

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: There is study after study in the scientific literature going

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: back decades it says that's not true.

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: In fact, California.

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: Legislator in twenty thirteen asked the Mind Institute of you

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: See Davis to look exactly at that topic. They said,

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: is it real or we justn't noticing it more? And

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: the Mind Institute came back and said, absolutely, this is

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: a real epidemic.

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: This is something we've never seen before.

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: It occurs to me something I was saying the other

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: day about this to researchers I know who work at

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: the Mind to Institute that he was quoting right there

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: where people somebody brought it up.

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: We were at dinner.

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 3: The idea, well, they just they just it's always been around,

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: just noticing more and they got like angry at that suggestion.

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: You know, I just feel like intuitively, I mean, I've

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: known lots of families my whole life, as you have,

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 3: and they didn't all have one kid who has clearly.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Had a certain thing. Right. Yeah, Yeah, it's undeniable that

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: diagnosis and awareness have increased. But as I said the

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: other day, is that five percent of their eyes fifty

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: percent of it? How much? I agree completely? And if

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: there were a shadow of a doubt as to whether

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: it's on the increased autism and related problems, yeah, it's

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: it's a humanitarian crisis that ought to be an enormously

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: high priority in my opinion. Anyway, a couple of things

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: on the way this hour. We'll try to squeez him

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: in this hour. If not, we'll you know, do one

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: in hour four. Partly because it's Friday and night. Just

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: don't feel like substance all day long. Just let's have

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: a little fun. Number One, Science has come up with

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the formula for having the perfect day.

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: Okay, perfect, I'm gonna write this down.

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. You don't need to think about it,

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you don't need to meditate, pray.

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: Science will tell you how to have the perfect day

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: before you go to work or before you go to

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: bed somewhere.

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Yes, well it's funny they don't touch on that. And

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: also a list of some of them fairly recently declassified

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: unbelievable operations the CIA has carried out through the years

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: just for fun. You've heard of Castro's exploding cigar plays.

50
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: That's just the beginning. All sorts of good stuff. But first,

51
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: before your dessert, perhaps a delicious marshmallow peep. So we're

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: discussing last hour. You you it's a delicious treat and

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: it's Easter Jack. Anyway, Oh, I.

54
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Heard that tone of voice, like I'm not being reverent

55
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: toward the Lord and Savior if I don't like beeps.

56
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: That makes sense?

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Is that what you took from my tone? I'm so sorry. Anyway,

58
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: I wanted to get through this just because I found

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: it so enlightening and interesting, and I think you will too.

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Talking about Medicaid just just briefly, and I came across

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: this headline, the six hundred billion dollar Medicaid maneuver on

62
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the chopping block. Republican budget cutters are are looking at

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: cutting this and this is interesting in itself, but it

64
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: also points out how so many of these gigantic government

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: expenditures are built to be exploited in ways we and

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: the public never hear about, or the super smart people

67
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: figure out how to exploit them in ways that were

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: never intended. Here you go. An obscure set of state

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: taxes on hospitals and other health providers is in the

70
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: crosshairs of congressional budget cutters because it can lead to

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: higher federal spending on Medicaid. It's they're known as provider taxes.

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: States impose them on hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities

73
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: that provide healthcare. The taxes boost the state's budget for

74
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: funding Medicaid, and then they spend it on Medicaid, which

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: in turn attracts more matching federal dollars to fund the program,

76
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: money that is ultimately directed back to the hospitals and clinics.

77
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: So it's like this perpetual motion taxation and grant machine

78
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: so that they can artificially inflate spending so they can

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: spend more and the hospitals and clinics get it back anyway.

80
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: But it's the taxpayers who end up paying for this loaded,

81
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, steroid fed spending.

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: As I've said many times, I would like to run

83
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: an experiment where I lived my life over and starting it.

84
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: Like the age of eighteen out of high school. I

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: just dedicated my life to trying to figure out how

86
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: to gain the system to get tax payer mooney.

87
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of people that do that.

88
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: There's so much money sloshing around, there's so many opportunities

89
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 3: to figure out a way to get chunks of that.

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and putting aside except for this brief mention, the

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: fact that our entire healthcare system is built on lies

92
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: and fraud, in that the compensation rates for doctors and

93
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: hospitals and all for Medicaid patients and Medicare patients and

94
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: are artificially crazy low because politically they don't want to

95
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: raise taxes enough to actually pay for this, So people

96
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: with private insurance or paying cash pay exorbitant rates for

97
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: healthcare to support the government scam. Anyway, that's enough of that.

98
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: The state governors and legislators despise this idea because hospitals

99
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: often ten to get back more in payments than they

100
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: shelled out for the original tax, which shows up their

101
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: ability to care for Medicaid patients who normally they'd say,

102
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: we're not seeing these people and getting paid eleven cents

103
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: on the dollar to treat their broken lag or whatever.

104
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: And then the governor say, well, wait, wait, wait, how

105
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: about this backchannel of funds will tax you and then

106
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: give you back a dollar thirty for every dollar in

107
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: tax you pay. So anyway, not to you know, borrior,

108
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: make your head spin. But all of this stuff is

109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: just so so corrupt. Where there's money slashing around, there

110
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: is corruption. But that's kind of just lead up to

111
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: this story. The moral case for reforming medicare. This is

112
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: from the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. Republicans

113
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: in Congress are they passed the budget outline last week.

114
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: That's an ongoing fight, will be for a long time.

115
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: We haven't talked much about it, but I wanted to

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: mention this. It's a once in a generation chance to

117
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: reform the government, but it will be squandered if the

118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: GOP shrinks from difficult policy fights. Exhibit A is Medicaid,

119
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: the fast growing entitlement that now spends more than eight

120
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion dollars a year while delivering subpar

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: healthcare for the poor. And the left in the press

122
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: are trying to intimidate the GOP from addressing the program's failures,

123
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: saying that they're trying to cut it and get rid

124
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: of it, and people will die in the streets. Now,

125
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: medic I'm paraphrasing.

126
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: Medicaid is the one that studies have shown you have

127
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: worse outcomes than if you didn't get involved at all.

128
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, some studies have showed that. Yeah, But Republicans can

129
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: win the medicaid argument if they understand how the program

130
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: has gone wrong and make the case, make their case

131
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: in the moral terms it deserves. Here's here's the important part.

132
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: New research and pulling on Medicaid work requirements help to

133
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: clarify the stakes. More than six in ten able bodied

134
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: adults on Medicaid reported no earned income, according to report

135
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: from the Foundation for Government Accountability of think tank, and

136
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: six and ten able bodied adults on Medicaid get no income.

137
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Voters tend to think of Medicaid as a safety net

138
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: for low income, pregnant women and disabled Americans, which is

139
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: how it started.

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not been that for so long, as our

141
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: friend Craig has pointed out over and over again. It's

142
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: amazing its reputation lives on for its original intended purpose.

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: But Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act expanded the program into

144
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a permanent titlement for childless men in prime working age. Wow.

145
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: Also worth mention a news seeking loser.

146
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: I want this message to reach those of you who

147
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: are able bodied and don't work and live off the government.

148
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: You.

149
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 3: I despise you. You're pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself.

150
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: All your friends should be ashamed of you. Nobody should

151
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: be friends with you.

152
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Wow. That's very judgmental.

153
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: Damn right it is. We need more shame. You should

154
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: be ashamed of the fact that you live off people

155
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: that go to work. Can I get memen shame or

156
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: a shame? Yes, thank you, thank you shame bell lady.

157
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: Also worth mentioning that Gaviy Newsom of cal Unicorny is

158
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: desperately trying to borrow billions of dollars to pay for

159
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: the state's callicade or whatever it's called, because he has

160
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: extended so many billions of dollars of care to illegal immigrants.

161
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: Remember Joe Wilson when Barack Obama said this will not

162
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: go to pay for illegal immigrants. Wilson said, you lie,

163
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: which may have been inappropriate and rude at the time.

164
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: What was true. He was absolutely right. Anyway, Democrats claim

165
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: those on Medicaid or working, you'll hear statistics like this

166
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: one from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Ninety two percent of

167
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: able bodied medicaid adults under age sixty five worked fuller,

168
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: part time, or were indisposed for a good reason, such

169
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: as caring for a relative or attending school. But that

170
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: figure is derived from government survey data, which are self

171
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: reported and rely on sample sizes as small as a

172
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: few dozen people FGA. The think tank I studied earlier,

173
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: by contrast, obtained administrative records from state medicaid agencies in

174
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty three states a far more complete picture of earnings

175
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: for nearly twenty one million able bodied adults on Medicaid.

176
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: It found that millions are declining to work at all,

177
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: which of course is terrible for the country economically, culturally,

178
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: in all sorts of ways, Democrats invariably paint this ordering

179
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Americans back to work is indentured servitude unfair. But the

180
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: GOP's proposed Medicaid work requirements back in twenty twenty three

181
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: were extremely modest twenty hours a week, which could include

182
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: training for a job or volunteering at your local library.

183
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: Just do something or and Democrats portray that as some

184
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: sort of you were sending them into the salt mines

185
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: to be whipped.

186
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: Right, And you probably only need to claim that you're

187
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: volunteering at the library, don't need to actually show up

188
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: and doing you volunteering.

189
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: So and and Republicans, by the way, and their cruel

190
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: plan offered exemptions for nearly anyone with applausible reason, pregnant,

191
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: have children, caring for an incapacitated relative, You're exempt. Got

192
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: a doctor's note saying you're unfit for exempt, you're enrolled

193
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: in school, getting help for drug or alcohol abuse, Okay,

194
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: you're exempt. That was the cruel Draconian.

195
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: Are so much more socialists than people realize. It reminds

196
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: me of when I couldn't couldn't get any childcare. None

197
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: of these people that I would, you know, contact on

198
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: these various websites to try to connect you with people

199
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: who want to be sitters. They would never never call

200
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: me back or show up or whatever. And somebody explained

201
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: to me, how, no, no, no, no, that those sites are

202
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: for you can show that you're making the effort to

203
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: look for a job so you can stay on your

204
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: government benefits because they actually are going to.

205
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: Take the job. Yeah, oh wow. So coming up Science

206
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,160

Speaker 1: CIA schemes through his I guarantee you will be amused

208
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: and amazed.

209
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: And one of my favorite headlines I've seen recently, do

210
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 3: you know child star Hailey Joe Osmond? He was a

211
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: kid from six cents who said I See dead people.

212
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: He had a rough week, good headline for the New

213
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: York Post.

214
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: Stay tuned.

215
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 4: Thanks to massive new proposed budget cuts and Health and

216
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: Human Services, the FDA may have to stop routine inspections

217
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: at food facilities, so look out for exciting new products

218
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 4: like Tyson's tangy buffalo beaks and thumbs. Yeah enough sauce,

219
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: you'll never.

220
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: Know bees and thumb thumbs chicken thumbs. Do you know

221
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: who Hailey Joel Osmond Is?

222
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: I'd heard name.

223
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: I knew was somebody when I saw the picture. Oh yeah,

224
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: so he was the kid in the sixth cent Sense

225
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: with Bruce Willis. He's a little kid says I See

226
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: dead people. So he's a child star. Child stars have

227
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 3: a history of their lives not going that well. It's

228
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 3: a shocking to Joe and I and always has been

229
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: that people continue to try to get their kids to

230
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: become stars, even though like ninety five percent of the

231
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: time they end up in jailer dead like at a

232
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: young age, no.

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Matter no matter what is offered, no matter how it

234
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: gratifies your ego or the child's don't don't don't, which

235
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: I used to think was primarily the whole.

236
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: Being rich and famous things such a you know, a

237
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: swirl of ugliness to get caught into. That was before

238
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: Harvey Weinstein, and you know, we realize the underbelly of Hollywood.

239
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's worse than that. I mean, you don't

240
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 3: need to just throw money and fame at a kid

241
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: to have their lives be ruined.

242
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: They're surrounded by awful, awful people their whole lives.

243
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: They're going to abuse them.

244
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: Add some attention and flattery to that and becoming addicted

245
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: to the attention with even without the molesters and all.

246
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: It's just it's a terrible idea.

247
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Haley Joel Osmond I see Dead People's now thirty seven

248
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: years old, and he had a rough goal of it

249
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: at the ski slopes Mammoth Lakes where I've been in California.

250
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 3: The other day This is not a good headline, Haley.

251
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: Joel Osmond hurls Jewish slurs at cops, almost loses pants

252
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: and arrest video.

253
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: I hate to almost lose your pants while hurling, you know,

254
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: anti Semitic slurs at law enforcement.

255
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: Almost loses pants?

256
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: How does that happen?

257
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: He called an officer an anti Semitic slur and a

258
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Nazi while he was being arrested for public intoxication, which

259
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: I kind of assumed that. Yeah, anti Semitic slurt and Nazi.

260
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: I just I don't know.

261
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: You gotta pick one.

262
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, confusing, really confusing. You get you to have a

263
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: theme and you gotta stick with you gotta build a narrative.

264
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: You're not building a narrative here, although Jews across America

265
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: have kind of getten used to this. You're the Nazis

266
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: further Israel.

267
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: So you had assumed the intoxication, Yeah, yeah, I assume

268
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: that was a factor.

269
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

270
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: He was taken into police custody at Lakes, California, after

271
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: law enforcement received a call shortly before two pm for

272
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: an alleged intoxicated person at Mammoth Mountain Resort. Now, I'm

273
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: guessing you have to be pretty darn intoxicated for somebody

274
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: called the cops on you at a ski resort because

275
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: there are quite a few people there that are drunk, uh,

276
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: you know, late late morning, early afternoon at a.

277
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Indoor stoned or whatever. Yes, that was the plan. That's

278
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: why we're here, That's.

279
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: Why I went.

280
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

281
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: In body Cambridge bodycam footage, which The New York Post

282
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: has looked at, Osmond called a police officer an antivis

283
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: Semitic slur and a Nazi. As we mentioned, at one

284
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: point he shouted, I've been kidnapped by an effing Nazi.

285
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: He also claimed he was what a night merce scenario.

286
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, not only have you been abducted against your will,

287
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: but it turns out to be a member of the

288
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: National Socialist Party. He's perpetrated the crime.

289
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: What a nightmare scenario in a beautiful afternoon. He also

290
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: claimed he was being attacked and accused officers of torturing me.

291
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: In the video, Ozma was her telling police you're effing

292
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: with my life. Is also caught on camera saying officers,

293
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: you'll wish you treated me nicer, which is a.

294
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Version of do you know who I am? I see

295
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: people which.

296
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Were big fans of you're gonna see a lawyer soon,

297
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: so you'll wish you treated me nicer. I'm a former

298
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: child star, don't you know?

299
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: That? Is what he's sort of saying.

300
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: I was decent to you, and you're effing you're an

301
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: effing kike.

302
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: It looks like is what he said. Yes, yes, terrible,

303
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm an old timey Jewish s Yeah, hard to imagine

304
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: thinking that was appropriate in this scenario. And calling him

305
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: a Nazi again, but again, if you're being abducted by

306
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: national socialists, you're gonna be rattled. You're gonna say things

307
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: you don't mean.

308
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: Anyway, He's apologized and is embarrassed by his behavior, and

309
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: he is looking at going to rehab and all the

310
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: things that these sorts of people always do to try

311
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: to get out of trouble with very expensive lawyers.

312
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: Probably well, I wish him well. I hope he gets

313
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: clean and has a long, happy life. Again, almost lost

314
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: his pants, didn't lose his pants? Almost lost his pants?

315
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: How to have the perfect day, according to Science and

316
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: the CIA's Wild History. Next half hour, don't miss it,

317
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

318
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 3: What's the proper thing to say? I want to say?

319
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: The proper thing do you say happy good Friday.

320
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: I do not. I never have.

321
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: I think, even like very solid Christians say happy good Friday.

322
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: Don't. Oh yeah I don't. I'm just saying I don't

323
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: and take you know, quite in contrast to the completely phony.

324
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: If I'm offended, I'm right culture of universities. I've always

325
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: believed in Hey, if somebody means it as a kind

326
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: and friendly greeting, take it that way. Sure of course, Yeah,

327
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: it was the day that Jesus was tortured to death

328
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: on the cross and killed. But yeah, if somebody says

329
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: happy good Friday, take it in the spirit it's intended.

330
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: I just tend not to. But anyway, best wishes and

331
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: a most respectful good Friday and Easter weekend to all

332
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: of our friends. So how to have a perfect day

333
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: according to science? I just I wanted to mention this

334
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: real quickly. Had a conversation yesterday, actually had a couple

335
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: in a row last couple of days with a young man.

336
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Brief bit of background, My sweet wife and I are

337
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: expanding our back patio, so we have some screened in

338
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: place to hang out when the bugs are bad and

339
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: it's we're on a gentle slope and so it's kind

340
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: of high off the ground and it's supported by bricks.

341
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: It's a brick house anyway, and so there's got to

342
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: be a pretty substantial foundation poard to support all the

343
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: bricks and cinder blocks and stuff to build up to

344
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: the level of the patio anyway. So the foundation people

345
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: have been in our backyard now for several days doing

346
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: what they do, which includes digging rather a deep ditch

347
00:18:54,359 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: and then this incredibly complex web of rebar bent to

348
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: custom shapes and then cinder blocks in a particular pattern.

349
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: And I've been asking the guys the foreman because oddly enough, Jack,

350
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: a number of the fellows involved don't speak English, but uh,

351
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: the foreman Yeah, I know, it's crazy, but the foreman do.

352
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: And French exactly. They're all Frenchmen. They're all working like crazy,

353
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: and they're berets, smoking their smelly cigarettes. It's wonderful to watch.

354
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 3: And they're tight striped shirts like Pablo exactly.

355
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Anyway. But No, in talking to these guys, it is

356
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: absolutely striking a how much they like what they do,

357
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: and b because I'm fascinated by it, and I think

358
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: they like that they're proud of what they do. Absolutely

359
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: they're very bright, very conscientious, and and and actually kind

360
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: of charming too because they're so you know, enthusiastic about

361
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: what they do and want to do a good job

362
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: and pick your own path in life. And everybody needs to.

363
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: And I don't judge anybody who does. You know, what

364
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: they think is right, as long as you know you

365
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: don't hurt anybody. But the idea that those guys are

366
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: somehow lesser than somebody with some dopey degree who's in

367
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: a cubicle doing something that makes them miserable is practically

368
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: obscene to me. To look down on those guys, Well,

369
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: it's obscene and it's just flat wrong. Even even if

370
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: that's not your thing. Different people like different things. It's

371
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: funny you bring this up. I got angry listening to

372
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: a podcast here day. I was listening to Jonah Goldberg

373
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: of The Dispatch. Maybe you see him on CNN now

374
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: and then, but he grew up in New York, so

375
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't have this point of view. But he was.

376
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: He was talking about manufacturing jobs coming back and everything

377
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: like that, and it became very clear to me, as

378
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: a guy who's lived the way he's lived, he doesn't

379
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: know there are lots of people who would hang themselves

380
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: if they had to live in New York City. I

381
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: know tons of people who would rather be dead than

382
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: live the rest of their lives in a place like

383
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: New York City. And he just didn't seem to grasp it. Now,

384
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: there are a lot of people that want to live

385
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: in a rural, cold place and work outside. They prefer that,

386
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: Like everybody I grew up with prefers that. And you know,

387
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: a lot of your elite can't imagine that that's true,

388
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 3: and so they think it's just horrible that somebody is

389
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: doing certain kind of jobs in certain kind of places.

390
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: That's meaning to me. Yeah, yeah, So anyway, tip of

391
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: the cap to all you fellows and gals who do

392
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And you're certainly respected around here.

393
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: So this is really an interesting story.

394
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: So much better for the country if we could break

395
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: out of that, so much better for the country.

396
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. The whole university mill of.

397
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: And it gets more expensive, and then the kids come

398
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: out and they don't have anything to do anyway, and.

399
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Just the whole thing it's like a scam designed to

400
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: make zillions of dollars. Huh. Anyway, and again the judgment

401
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: of good, hardworking people is what makes me angry anyway.

402
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: Ah so, how to have the perfect day? How what

403
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: if you could engineer the perfect day, not by luck

404
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: or with crystals, but actual science. That's exactly right. The

405
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: University of British Columbia analyzed data from the American Time

406
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: Use Survey, which recorded how thousands of people spent their

407
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: time across more than one hundred activities. By comparing these

408
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: patterns with whether participants rated their day is better than typical,

409
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: they were able to pinpoint the building blocks of an

410
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: exceptionally good day.

411
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: Okay, now we're searching the I'm guessing most people are

412
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: like me. They're thinking right now, what would be my

413
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: perfect day.

414
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: This is not some sort of mountaintop. I'm with a

415
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: guru in a Paul sipping Margarita's and I have sex

416
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: with a supermodel. It's not that sort of thing. It's

417
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: a formula for having a great day or the BD

418
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: the best day ever. And I'm gonna get to the

419
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: end of this and you're gonna yell at me saying

420
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: I can't don't have time for that. You're yelling at science.

421
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: I represent science for the next two minutes.

422
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: Are you gonna yell at science.

423
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: Right exactly, that would make you a maniac. Here it

424
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: is the best day ever. And we will repost this

425
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: under hot links at armstrong and giddy dot com today

426
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: so you can find it. Six hours with family plus

427
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: two hours with friends, one and a half hours of

428
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: extra socializing. Wow, so you start? Would you like to

429
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: start yelling? Now? This is a lot of time with

430
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: other people? Keeping in mind these things can overlap. Two

431
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: hours of exercise to all it physical physical activity, one

432
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: hour of eating and drinking, and less than six hours

433
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: of work, indulging in only one hour of screen time,

434
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: and at most of fifteen minute commute.

435
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: That is happiness right there, the commute, I buy.

436
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Man.

437
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: First of all, there aren't very many people who live

438
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: a day like that, right yeah, And just the exercise alone,

439
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: there are very many people who exercise.

440
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Two hours a day. Sure again, you know, I think

441
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: they would include taking a walk with one of the

442
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: fforementioned friends or family members, that sort of thing. Catchyard.

443
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 3: I'm more of a loner than the average person, so

444
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: that's too much time.

445
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: With other people for me. But that doesn't mean that's right.

446
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: And the gall wrote the follow up article to this

447
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: is a single gas without family in her city, and

448
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, obviously spending six hours of family, it's going

449
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: to be difficult. But you know, if you boiled it

450
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: down and again, we'll post this so you can look

451
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: at it again, it's about Pee Paul in the person.

452
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I easily spend six

453
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: hours with family every day, just the way my life

454
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: is structured. So I'm thinking it would be cool if

455
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 3: like a fit bit or an Apple Watch or something

456
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: like that could give you, at the end of the

457
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: day how you spent your day, as opposed to just

458
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 3: you know, steps and an average heart rate or whatever. I'll

459
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: bet it'd be pretty depressing if you got to the

460
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: end of like a month, do a whole month, and

461
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: like you spent an average of two hours a day

462
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: staring at your phone, you spent an hour watching TV

463
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 3: that you weren't really that interested in, a sporting of

464
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: it you don't care about, or a TV show you

465
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 3: don't even really like, you spent this many hours in

466
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: your car and traffic, you spent this many hours you

467
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: know whatever. I'll bet it'd be pretty damn depressed.

468
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the readout on me would be you

469
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: spent X number of hours trying to motivate yourself to

470
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: do the things you really care about, right, which is sad.

471
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: I remember one of the best things you've ever brought us,

472
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I think it was you brought us this is the

473
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: idea that your priorities are what you do, not what

474
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: you say they are. That's a good one. Yeah. Ooh, sobering,

475
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: and it's Friday. I don't want to be sober. So

476
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: coming up unbelievable operations the CIA actually carried out since

477
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: its birth.

478
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: You spent four hours last month trying to get the

479
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: password to work that sort of thing.

480
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: Oh, very depressed. Yeah, it's an angering and maybe, but

481
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: honestly it might make you reorder your life absolutely absolutely. Yeah,

482
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: that's good stuff.

483
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: Okay, how about you? What's your perfect day? Text line

484
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: four one five, two nine five KFTC. Take on some

485
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 3: of your texts, son, what would be the perfect day?

486
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 3: Joe just ran down scientifically what the perfect day is

487
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: and maybe we'll talk about that in our four. So

488
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: our text line four one, five, two nine five KFTC.

489
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: If you don't get our four, get the podcast Armstrong

490
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: and Getty on demand. I had maybe my least favorite

491
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: thing that can happen in any given day. Last night

492
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: is when you can't stop coughing and you're trying to

493
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: go to sleep, and you just got that never ending

494
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: like tickle on the back of your throat, just like

495
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: you just feel like one more cough and you'll be done.

496
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: But you just and it lasted to like two am miserable.

497
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: Oh I hate that. You gotta have that that in medicine.

498
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: I recommended to you that the has a cough suppressant

499
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: in it. The only way I'd survived those things. Anyway,

500
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: I can't I can never remember the name of it anyway,

501
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: So this is absolutely crazy. Some of this stuff is

502
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: fairly recently declassified. Some of it's been known for a while,

503
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: but it's examples of some of the CIA's most audation

504
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: missions since it was formed in the twentieth century, in

505
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: the fifties in particular, and you may have heard some

506
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: of these. Some of them are new. This. You know,

507
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: you don't start the show with the show stopper, but this,

508
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: this is probably better off as the punchline. In the

509
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties, the CIA dropped millions of anti communist pamphlets

510
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: from weather balloons flying over the Soviet controlled part of Europe,

511
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: but there was an idea that they worked to develop.

512
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: They drew up a plan to also have packets of

513
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: extra large condoms dropped on Communist nations, but the extra

514
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: large condoms would be labeled small or medium. The strategy

515
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: was to lower the morale of male citizens by suggesting

516
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: that they were physically inferior to their well endowed Western counterpart.

517
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: This is not true. Those are somebody's idea and we

518
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 3: actually did it. No, it never came to fruition, but

519
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: it was game planned out.

520
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: There are records.

521
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, that seems dumb.

522
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: I wish I had somehow found my way into that

523
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: line of work, dreaming up ridiculous plots for the CIA

524
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: to consider. How about this one, much more recent, The

525
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: CIA once hatched a plan to make an Osama Bin

526
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: laden action figure to distribute to children in the Middle East.

527
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: But here's the deal. When the action figure was exposed

528
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: to the sun, the face would peel off to reveal

529
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: a demon like character with red skin, green eyes, and

530
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: black markings, who accidentally bears an uncanny resemblance to Star

531
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Wars character Darth Maul, which is neither here nor there.

532
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: And they actually made several prototypes before it was reject

533
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: did uh you know, to be implemented.

534
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: So you're playing with your Osama bin Laden Kendall. You're

535
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: out in the sun and all of a sudden he

536
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: looks like a red skull from the Avengers movies.

537
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, and it freaks you out and you think

538
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: he's the devil, and you do something and then you're.

539
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: Up with invading Iraq or something something.

540
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: That's probably where the plant the plan went to side

541
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: base with. What then, Jim, what are the kids going

542
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: to do that?

543
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm trying to stay Osamas like us, play it out

544
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: for me here, and what happens that?

545
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know, they like think Osama's the devil? Okay,

546
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: all right, so they actually created three they think three

547
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: individual action figures prototypes. Oh what, I'd love to have

548
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: one of those. Yeah. Yeah, And honestly, it when his

549
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: face melts off. I'm looking at the picture right now.

550
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: It it pretty much just he looks like he's in

551
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: some sort of death metal band or something like that.

552
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how the average you know, I don't

553
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: know Iraqi kid would take that. Here, here's another good one.

554
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: We're back in between the sheets. From nineteen forty five

555
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: till approximately well sometime in the seventies, the CIA ran

556
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: covert operations targeting foreign leaders who were either openly with

557
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: the Communists or leaning that way. There have been various viruses,

558
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: exploding cigars, other spry thriller type antics. President Akamed Sukarno

559
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: of Indonesia accused the US of trying to destroy him

560
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: for a sympathy toward Communism with a CIA produced porno

561
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: film that was referred to as Happy Days, which purported

562
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: to show Sakarno in this is a quote ecstatic sexual

563
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: congress with a woman, although the person involved was actually

564
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: an American performer in a mask. And as I read this,

565
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: I thought, what I bet everybody's thinking right now, How

566
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: easy would that be to do right now? With Ai?

567
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: It's effortless. Yeah. The CIA's plan was to circulate film

568
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: pretending it had been secretly made by the KGB in

569
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: the course of a visit by Sukarno to the Soviet Union.

570
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Like the other stuff, I don't think it was implemented. Oh,

571
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: the plan backfired. So Kara was actually impressed with how

572
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: he was depicted in the film because it showed him

573
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: leaving his Russian girl partner a glow with fulfillment is

574
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: the quote. And he reportedly ordered this distribution throughout Indonesia.

575
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: Because it made him look good.

576
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, yeah, all right, we have time for a

577
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: couple more. I like this one, if only because it's

578
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: a great name for a band. Remote controlled dogs. The

579
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: CIA created remote control dogs by operating on their brains

580
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: during a bizarre nineteen sixty three mind control experiment. According

581
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: to recently declassified documents, researchers implanted a device in I

582
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: had six dogs skulls and used a remote control to

583
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: guide them through an open field. Oh wow, the pooches

584
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: could be made to run, turn, and stop for real

585
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: as the scientists, yeah, zap the reward centers of their

586
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: brains with electrical currents. According to CIA papers published in

587
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five, I'm actually mildly surprised that we had

588
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: that sort of capability to that extent in nineteen sixty five.

589
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure it did not do the dogs any good,

590
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: but quote. The specific game of the research program was

591
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: to examine the feasibility of controlling the behavior of a

592
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: dog in an open field by means of remotely stimulated

593
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: electrical stimulation, et cetera. They eventually abandoned those experiments.

594
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to torture dogs, but some of these

595
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: it'd be pretty fun to have that be your job,

596
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: coming up with wacky ideas and putting together protects and whatnot.

597
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now you've probably heard about the CIA's brainwashing

598
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: experiments during the fifties and sixties, experimenting with techniques designed

599
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: to make a person kill someone then have no recollection afterward.

600
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Codinated mk ULTRA, the program involved some one hundred and

601
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: forty nine separate experiments, many on unwitting Americans who had

602
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: not consented to being guinea pigs, including a Kentucky mental

603
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: patient who was dosed with LSD for one hundred and

604
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: seventy nine days straight. Wow. That's horrible, utterly, utterly unforgivable.

605
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: It was officially launched this program to develop better interrogation techniques,

606
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: as well as to explore the possibility of creating a

607
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: programmable assassin. Let's see. Many of the documents pertaining to

608
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: this mission mk ULTRA were destroyed in nineteen seventy three

609
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: on the CIA's order. Some survived and were revealed later

610
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: that decade.

611
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: That was leading up to the Church Commission. That's what

612
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 3: they're trying to avoid there. If you know anything about that,

613
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: google it.

614
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Yikes. Yeah, And they go into a bunch of detail

615
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: on that one and experimentations with psychics and that.

616
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: Flat out human guinea pigs. You're using human guinea pigs

617
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: against their will.

618
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, that's exactly what it was.

619
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: Wow, that is something I don't have to.

620
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: Really ended with the condoms, and not that this thing,

621
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: the super giant condoms to make them.

622
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,279
